Well there is media and then there is media. Fox and CBS and big news channels like that tend to be heavy handed and one sided (from what I've seen against Obama). Then there is facebook, twitter, local smaller business news, the daily show, and things like that that tend to be more in support of Obama.
The first sort of media is what I was ranting about. It is irritating to know so many people watch Fox and like stations and take what they say as 100% truth without crosschecking any facts. As an American voter, or any voter really, it is important to be informed.
I'm just meaning to point out the absurdity of taking in information as pure fact from news channels that have been proven to bold face liars many of times.
I think we don't really know Romney because we don't want to. Republicans want to pretend he isn't what he really is so they can justify voting for "the lesser evil".

Romney's First TV AD: Begin Obamacare Repeal on Day One
The Mitt Romney presidential campaign released its first television commercial today with the Republican candidate outlining what he would do on his first day in office, if elected president.
Should Romney defeat pro-abortion President Barack Obama, he says on day one he would begin the process of repealing Obamacare - something that will likely attract pro-life voters and the majority of Americans who are opposed to the health care law that includes abortion funding and rationing concerns. Ref. Source 9
This election IS about which is the lesser of the two evils because I do not see any good options from the two. For a start we need Obama out of there. If he is there for another term his performance will be even worst than the current term because he doesn't need to run for re-election. Romney, I don't know... I think he will just be more of the same unless he can prove otherwise but he is definitely better than Obama.

I have to disagree with you on Obama. I think if you really look at the facts you can clearly see he has been doing an excellent job. The only thing that has really been holding him back is republicans in the senate who are purposefully opposing him to make him look bad.
You've got to keep in mind how bad of shape the country was in when he took office. Obama brought America out of a possible great depression. Also he is the first president to stick up for gay rights.

What facts are you referring to exactly? I'm seeing a huge debt to China that we can never repay in our lifetime. Also, being that I'm not gay it has no merit to me that he stood up for them, in fact I heard that the only reason he said that recently was because the VP let it lose to the public before he could. Now Romney will get so much more support from all those who don't want to support gay marriage.

The debt to China came about because of Bush. If we didn't go into that debt with China our country would have fallen into a horrible depression. Obama planned to announce his decision to support gay marriage but Biden blurted it out before he could, at the time he wanted too.

Obama fact/lie of the day: Bain Capital attacks reveal stunning hypocrisy
The Obama campaign has made Bain Capital, Mitt Romney's former company, and private equity firms in general the center of their latest attacks. One small problem with this tactic: the same day he launched the Bain attacks, he attended a high profile fundraiser hosted by - a private equity firm. Ref. Source 8
Veterans Give Romney Big Lead Over Obama:
U.S. Veterans, about 13% of the adult population and consisting mostly of older men, support Mitt Romney over Barack Obama for president by 58% to 34%, while nonveterans give Obama a four-percentage-point edge. Ref. Source 6
